Hey guys, I just bought Radar Contact and took my first flight with it and I've got to say that it is worth every penny! :DI just have one or two things that I'm trying to clear up. Radar Contact does not actually follow SIDs or STARs and altitude/speed restrictions are relatively generic, correct? So the best way to fly a SID/STAR is to have a generic waypoint within 30 miles of the airports and fly the SID/STAR around those points? And if having to fly to the far side of an arrival airport, will ATC give me proper vectors (if it is a fully controlled airfield)?

Just starting a flight from LAX, for some reason only runway 6R is in use for both AI departures and arrivals verses all 4 runways being in use and the runways in use should actually be the westbound runways because the wind is out of the west. Any workaround to get it working correctly?

rc follows the ai. it's a best practice to start fs, and if you have a third party weather program, let it set the weather, sometimes it takes several minutes. then reset the ai, so the ai follow the newly loaded weather. then rc will follow the aijd

i think this is pretty well covered in the manual about sids and stars. if you want to fly a sid with your sid's altitudes, there is an option for that. if you want to fly a sid, but you don't know which runway you will get, there is a sid option for that.stars end at the handoff to approach. if you want to fly a specific approach, you can request an iap approach after you contact approach.jd
